'I want this debate to be respectful.'

Alivia Greer strikes a pose on stage during her lip sync to Meghan Trainor's 2016 hit "Me Too," during St. John Catholic Elementary School's talent show on Tuesday, May 15.

- Herve Cavanagh, moderator

Kingston riding in 2015, he said that "one thing I've learned," is that some people have "a long preamble with the questions."

Also, some questioners appear to be "targeting one candidate," which could be seen as "an attack." He would like to see that "questions should be addressed to all four candidates."

The new model he is bringing in will "make it a little more effective and efficient. That's what I'm hoping."

In the past debate, "I have (had) to interrupt them (to say) 'Get to the point.' It's a public floor. It has to be shared."

On Saturday, May 26 at 1 p.m., the public is invited to visit the High Lonesome Nature Reserve for a demonstration of how Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) is scientifically utilizing sound recordings to improve the management of their wilderness properties.

Under a one-year pilot project, MMLT, with the support of citizen scientists, has developed and field tested best practices for bioacoustic data collection, analysis and interpretation.

Representatives of the

Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant Review team, including Louise Heslop, funders of this pilot project, will be on hand to congratulate the team on this new application of bioacoustic monitoring and present a plaque to mark the work done as a result of receiving a grant from the foundation in July 2017.

Mary Vandenhoff, MMLT board director, will explain how bioacoustic monitoring will provide MMLT with a deeper understanding of habitat diversity and changes over

time, including early warning of changes in ecological integrity.

Project scientists will be available to explain the process and analysis.

High Lonesome Nature Reserve is located at 867 Carbine Road, Pakenham.

Take County Road 29 to Pakenham Village, turn on Waba Road and continue west for 2.9 km. Turn left on Barr Side Road and travel for 1.6 km. Take the first left at Carbine Road and drive 4 km to 867 Carbine Road.

Hart fires back at extremist comment at all-candidates meeting ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com If the large crowd gathered for the provincial all-candidates meeting May 16 in Beckwith were looking for a show, they got what they came for.

Notice to Residents and Property Owners Regarding Noxious Weeds The main purpose of the Weed Control Act R.S.O. 1990, is to reduce the impact of noxious weeds on the industries of agriculture and horticulture.

Under the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter W.5 Sections 3, 13, 16 and 23, you are requested to destroy all noxious weeds and weed seeds on your property.

In Urban Areas, Sections 3, 13, 16 and 18 do not apply to noxious weeds or weed seeds that are far enough away from any land used for agriculture or horticultural purposes, as they do not interfere with that use.

All properties within the County of Lanark are hereby requested to be in compliance with the Weed Control Act by the 15th day of June, 2018, and throughout the season. After June 15th, 2018, the County of Lanark Weed Inspector may enter upon the said lands and may cause any noxious weeds discovered to be destroyed, charging the cost against the land, as set out in the Act. Inquiries relating to Weed Control, within Lanark County, should be directed to the Lanark County Public Works Department, phone: 613-267-1353, toll free: 1-888-952-6275 or email: roads@lanarkcounty.ca The Act applies only to designated noxious weeds and cannot be used to control property standards or appearances.

Commerce. Squaring off against each other were incumbent Progressive Conservative Randy Hillier, Liberal Amanda PulkerMok, Ramsey Hart of the NDP and the Green party's Anita Payne.

Pulker-Mok, appointed to the vacant Mississippi Mills council seat in 2016, announced her candidacy on Dec. 22. The Almonte mother of two boys said that her vision for Ontario includes rural ridings. "We need to see a strong voice when it comes to representing the unique challenges," she said.

She indicated the Liberal government would continue to invest in new job creation, health care, innovation for farmers and food manufacturers.

Hart, nominated as candidate on April 7, is the current executive director of The Table Community Food Centre in Perth.

"One thing is very clear and that's that Ontarians want change. The question is, what kind of change do you want?"

Hart said the NDP provides a fully costed platform that looks to provide access to housing, extension of health care to include den-

tal and drug coverage.

Payne is no stranger to the Green party, having run provincially in three previous elections and federally in 2015. The Tay Valley Township resident is a retired high school teacher whose focus is addressing the climate crisis.

"The Green party wants to do politics differently...we will tell you the truth and fund the programs that Ontarians want and need," she said, noting the platform surrounds jobs, people and plant.

Hillier, who lives near Perth, has been MPP of the riding since 2007. One of the former founders of the Lanark Landowners Association, he remains "active in challenging unfair and unjust government laws and policies and I continue to do so and will continue to do so if given the opportunity."

He said people expect government to better and improve their lives and with a PC government, the waste and mismanagement by the Liberals will be reversed.

Questions were submitted in writing to candidates. They surrounded everything from why

people should personally vote for candidates, their views on an integrated school board, natural gas infrastructure expansion, to high speed Internet, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and health care wait times/bed shortages.

A few fireworks were produced when a question asked about ensuring policies, regulations and legislation has been properly evaluated prompted Hart to bring up comments made about him by PC leader Doug Ford. During a leader's debate on May 11, Ford called Hart a professional anti-mining activist due to his work with MiningWatch Canada.

"I'm a scientist by trade...Mr. Hillier's leader has a special problem with facts and I've experienced this personally when he called me an environmental extremist..."

"You are," interjected Hillier. "...and that I have a personal crusade to shut down mines across the country. It's a complete fabrication bordering on slander," continued Hart. l See CANDIDATES, page 11

I've just returned home from interviewing four of the stars of the Studio Theatre's upcoming spring show, Sister Act, the Musical, and I'm still buzzing. Being in the presence of these phenomenal young actors was like sitting next to a Van de Graaff generator: the air was charged, flowing with energy, like liquid joy.

Cait Porteous (née Morton), Lindsay Rewi, Brent Maguire and Amber Mitchell are just four of 22 cast members in Sister Act, The Musical. (Visit studiothereatreperth.com for the full list.) It's the largest show ever put on at the Studio Theatre, and with 10 full performances, it will also

have the longest run of any Studio Theatre production to date.

"This show is a monster!" says Rewi, who shares the lead role of Deloris with her friend Porteous, each starring in five of the 10 performances. "For Cindi" (director Cindi Bates), it's a big job working with a cast this size, especially since nearly everyone is on stage at any given moment. It's like herding cats."

Maguire, a nice guy who flawlessly pulls off his role as Curtis, a very bad guy, says the content in the show is staggering.

"A cast of 22, unbelievable music, fantastic dancing ... it's a lot to learn for the actors, but for the audience

Of course, Sister Act, The Musical is based on the 1992 hit movie, starring Whoopi Goldberg, about streetwise disco diva Deloris who takes refuge in a convent, disguised as a nun, to escape the wrath of her gangster boyfriend.

The original score was written by the great Alan Menken, the genius behind The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin and many more. The Studio Theatre production features a live seven-piece band of professional musicians, led by veteran musical director Brad Mills.

Sister Act, The Musical opens at the Studio Theatre on Thursday,

May 24 for ten shows: May 24, 25, 26, 31, June 1 and 2 at 7:30 p.m., and May 26 and 27 and June 2 and 3 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $27 at Tickets Please, 11 Gore St. E. (613 485-6434 or ticketsplease.ca) and at the door

Perth's Classic Dinner Theatre premieres in Perth June 5 Every Tuesday evening this summer, the 2018 Classic Dinner Theatre and Michael's Table present the hilarious G.B. Shaw comedy, Overruled - about two couples confronted by an unconventional challenge along with a sumptuous three-course, homecooked meal.

Performed by some of Lanark and Renfrew Counties' most talented up-andcoming performers - including Mallory Brumm, Katie Irvine, Connor Lyon and Connor Williamson the brand new dinner theatre experience represents a new extension of the annual summertime Classic

Theatre Festival, which already features three main stage professional productions, as well as a morning walking play and an evening ghost play.

"Our mandate period of performing classics from the golden age of Broadway and the London Stage is perfectly suited for dinner

theatre," explains artistic producer Laurel Smith. "I also think it's something that's primed for a comeback in an age when there's only so much binge-watching people can do at home before they start to long for the connection of a live performance experience like this one."

artistic and culinary excellence. "It's a great opportunity to tickle your funny bone, please your palette, and create a memory you'll enjoy long after the final curtain," Smith says.

Dinner theatre launched l Continued from page 6

the new dinner theatre based on audience feedback about additional activities they would like to enjoy while attending a main stage show. Given that 80 per cent of audiences are tourists, a key request was getting home be-

fore sundown, and with a running time of 5 to 7 p.m. from June 5 to Aug. 28, that should pose no problem for travellers coming from as far as two hours away.

The Michael's Table menu will be offering four special entrees, with soup and salad and dessert and coffee or tea. Tickets for

the experience will be $48 (which includes all box office charges, taxes and gratuities).

With limited seating and strong advance word of mouth, seats are already selling fast. To reserve dinner theatre seats, contact 1877-283-1283 or visit classictheatre.ca.

OPINION

ABOUT US

Hold parties to their future broken promises It's one thing to see a car commercial give us all the glitz and glamour with none of the hard numbers. The company is softening us up, luring us in with speed and flashy colours. Don't think about the ticket price, payment plan, your pocketbook. It's about the dream, not the reality. That's fine until we walk into the dealership. They have to tell us the price then. Why would anyone sign on the dotted line without knowing it?

No, we would demand to know the full cost.

Yet many appear willing to walk into the voting booth and sign on without knowing the cost of the next government.

At one point in the not-too-distant past, parties put out fully-costed platforms. Last November, former PC leader Patrick Brown unveiled his 78-page 2018 election platform, calling it The People's Guarantee. It included guarantees to cut income tax rates for middle- and low-income earners. Hydro bills would be slashed by 12 per cent. There was something for child care, mental health, an accountability act: you get the picture.

The party's new leader, Doug Ford, promised a "solid platform that is fully costed," but had yet to release one nearing the midway point of the June 7 election campaign. It seems the plan now is to make a scattering of announcements, each including a price tag.

The Liberal Party back in 2003 bragged about their fully costed platform, saying it was verified by a forensic accountant and two bank economists. Of course, once elected, Premier Dalton McGuinty more than doubled the promised deficit spending and raised taxes (in the form of the Ontario Health Premium.)

The Liberals have had a platform ever since. It is the government's budget released prior to every election. They are piling onto it with - among other promises - a pledge to ban auto insurance rates based on driver postal codes; an idea they voted against at Queen's Park.

So it seems the choice is between a platform that, based on past actions, would be abandoned once the party wins power; or no platform at all, meaning no promises to break, by a party that wants you to vote in ignorance.

The difference between a broken promise and no promise? At least we can hold them to a broken promise.

The Ontario NDP has offered platforms, including in 2018, and has not broken a promise in decades, if ever. That may have to do with holding precious little time in power, who knows?

We could dream a little too. Maybe that car will go as fast and shine as brightly as in the commercials.

Maybe cost doesn't matter. Ready to sign?

Not until we've seen the broken promise first.

Kudos to heritage fair participants Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the well put-together story about the Perth Heritage Fair last week. The information was well presented as well as acknowledging the work of the students, but I would like to provide some further details.

In the beginning the students in all the schools in the region ranging from grades 4-8 were given the task of selecting a topic pertinent to some aspect of Canadian History/Heritage. The topic could be on a local, provincial, national or international level.

The student had to select the topic, research the information, document this

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • l MORE ONLINE See all our published letters to the editor online at insideottawavalley.com information in a presentable fashion, construct their demonstration and also be well versed on their topic.

Each school had their own Heritage Fair where students displayed their projects and were judged by three individuals at three separate times thus the student had to be well prepared to answer questions on their topic.

In conclusion a number of students were then selected to go to the Perth Regional Heritage Fair on May 10 at the Perth legion.

When they arrived, they discovered that the power was out. Just like good obedient troopers they did not fuss, just reg-

istered, collected their name tags, continued along to their designated stations, commenced setting up their display, and calmed their nerves.

Examining all the projects on display was an eye opening experience. It was very easy to see that these students had worked very hard and each deserved recognition.

This region has some extremely talented students and they truly put themselves out there and gave it their all. Their demonstrations were extraordinary and each child took their turn expressing their knowledge concerning their subject matter before three indi-

vidual judges (three sessions of judging). Quite a challenge to say the least and each student stood up to the task.

I was extremely proud to see our area students do such an outstanding job and in my opinion each one was a winner. Yes awards were handed out and rightfully so but each students should be very proud of their achievements.

These students of today did a top-notch job of reviewing our yesterday.

Not only do the students need to be recognized for a job well done but also all the teachers, volunteers, organizers, the Perth Curling Club and the Perth Royal Canadian Legion for hosting.

Well done.

When asked what they will do to curb the costs of electricity for residents and businesses, Payne noted that there needs to be a shift from nuclear generating stations to renewable energy options.

"Instead of rebuilding our aging plants, we could import hydro from Quebec. It would be one-third of the cost and they have an excess amount of power," she said.

Hart said the NDP's plan is to buy back Hydro One and place it back into the public's hands.

"The NDP isn't necessarily going to go forward with the refurbishment of plants, we'd have to evaluate the costs of that," he stated. "There's also a discrepancy in delivery charges to rural customers.

That we'll do right away."

Pulker-Mok said residents should have seen a 25 per cent decrease in their hydro bills from the Liberals. "The Liberal government has invested $70 billion to have a viable electrical system in Ontario where we don't have rolling blackouts or brownouts anymore."

Hillier acknowledged the hydro crisis in the province as a "clustermuck."

"There are 250,000 families that can't afford hydro. Last year, 60,000 families were disconnected," he said. "This is a third world problem, not what we would expect in the richest province in the country." "...We have to do better or our kids will be in the dark eating cat food in another generation," Hillier added.

Another area of concern for local businesses is Bill 148, the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, which has had a big impact on employers. Candidates were asked how employers can be expected to absorb these costs and remain competitive.

“It was introduced to create fairness across the board,” Pulker-Mok noted. “Part of it was making sure that workers were given equal opportunity.

Businesses should be proud when they have employees who are making a living wage and having vacation they have earned. Those employees give more back to the business…invest in your employees and you’ll see the return.”

Hillier said that when the act was introduced on Jan. 1 of this year, there were 59,000 fewer jobs in this province by Jan. 31.

“Bill 148 has had a direct effect…one in 10 of every jobs in this province is a minimum wage job.

Having the highest rate of minimum wage workers is not a record to be proud of,” he said. “We should be a growing and prosperous province, not one where we strive to meet the minimum.”

Acknowledging that no one should have to work full-time and be under the poverty level, Payne said “too many people are in part-time jobs working beneath what they’ve been trained for.”

“We (Greens) will focus on helping employers provide good jobs that allow people to have a living wage,” she continued, adding this will be done through employer health tax and by reversing corporate tax cuts for big business by one per cent.

Hart said the NDP are committed to sticking with the Liberals’ plan for increasing minimum wage to $15 next year.

“We believe that people should live with dignity,” he said

12 OPINION

Aunt Lizzie's annual visits turned the house upside down Effort it took to squeeze into corset an eye-opener for young Mary Father’s sister from Regina, I thought, was the smartest person to ever step off the train in Renfrew.

pure white, with a red hat, shoes, and elbow length gloves with a glass ring on the outside. As far as Father was concerned, Aunt Lizzie had taken on airs since she moved West and married Uncle Jack who worked for the CPR, allowing her to go anywhere in Canada for nothing. Father said that was the only reason she came out to Northcote: it was free!

MARY COOK Column She came once a year, and was always dressed in

When she came for her yearly visit, she turned the whole place upside down.

She brought enough clothes to last a year, even though she would only be visiting a week, and she never appeared in the same outfit twice. When she came downstairs for breakfast, she was dressed fit to kill, with every hair in place, and enough makeup on to sink a ship.

We always had a Saturday night party when Aunt Lizzie came. That gave her a chance to visit those she had grown up with, and as Father said, to show off, and put on the dog, and generally to show how well she had done since she left Renfrew County.

Well, there she was. Father spent as much time as he could in the barns.

Avoiding Aunt Lizzie as much as possible became his mission for the week.

He welcomed the Saturday night house party because that would give him one other night when he didn’t have to sit and hear his sister brag about her money in the bank, the big house, and the new car Uncle Jack bought every year. l See VISIT, page 13

Everything was ready for the party. Neighbours would bring eats, the big white pots were simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval, filled with green tea, and we five children were dressed in our nextto-Sunday best. Then we heard the roar from the upstairs bedroom.

Mother, my sister Audrey and I took the stairs two at a time, and Father never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal.

There was Aunt Lizzie, ramrod straight, half dressed, with something around her middle that had more strings and laces than I had ever seen in my life. She was hanging on to the bed post for dear life, and was so red in the face, I thought she was going to explode. I sat on the bed and looked her over from

head to toe. I had never seen one of those contraptions before, and I couldn’t imagine why anyone would put themselves through such torture, if it wasn’t necessary.

She was telling Mother to pull the laces tighter.

Mother tried, but it still didn’t suit Aunt Lizzie.

“Tighter Mabel,” she ordered. “If I pull any tighter, Lizzie, your back will meet your front,” Mother answered.

The laces were tied in the front, and big wads of cotton that had been sitting on the wash stand were being stuffed into her bosom. Finally, the ordeal was over. Her white silk dress was slipped over her head, and she looked ten pounds lighter than she did before she got laced up.

On the way downstairs I said to Mother I couldn’t

wait to tell the whole family what I had just witnessed in the bedroom ... I was sure it had something to with a sore back. Mother said I wasn’t to mention the corset to anyone ... the secret would just be between us.

I said I thought Father would like to know how much pain his sister was having, and maybe it would soften his feelings toward her. Mother said she was sure Father would be delighted to know, but it would just add fuel to an already roaring fire, whatever that meant – Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

LYME DISEASE AWARENESS: Know the Bug, Know the bite, Know what to do

Look For Ticks:  When you return from being outdoors, check yourself for ticks

   

(include armpits, groin, scalp and have someone else check the back of your body).

A quick shower may help remove any ticks not yet attached.

Outdoor clothes can be put into a hot dryer to kill loose ticks.

If you are going hiking or walking in natural areas, wear light coloured clothing, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks & shoes.

Tuck your pants into your socks.

Ticks are more visible on light colours and harder to attach on clothing.

Check Your Ticks:

*NOT ALL TICKS CARRY THE LYME DISEASE BACTERIA

size exaggerated for illustration

Unfed Tick

 If the tick on your body looks like the

unfed tick , it means it was probably attached for less than 24 hours.

This is not enough time for the bacteria to transfer.

Fed (engorged) Tick

 If the tick on your body looks like the

fed (engorged) tick , it probably has been attached longer and may have transferred the bacteria.

Consult your doctor.

Know The Symptoms:  A bulls-eye rash may be present around the bite.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, swirling emotions may be affecting your peace of mind. This may cause you to obsess and lose control if you let it. Try to stay calm and regain your perspective.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Try not to react without thinking things through, Leo. Knee-jerk reactions are a surefire way to land yourself in trouble. Take a moment to think before offering a response.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You may feel like taking a few risks or stepping outside of your comfort zone, Sagittarius. Following your instincts can lead you to try things with confidence.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Don’t be envious of other people’s relationships and possessions, Taurus. You never know what is going on behind others’ closed doors. Appreciate what you have.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, openly expressing your thoughts and feelings can help you form close bonds with others. Share what is on your mind. True friends will commend you for it.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Socialize with people you care about Capricorn.

The pleasure of their company may prove rejuvenating. Choose any type of occasion, whether intimate or grand.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Interactions with others may be causing you to remain guarded, Gemini. Open yourself up a bit if you want to foster new friendships and relationships.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, dedicate yourself to work for a few days so that you can feel reliable and needed. Otherwise, you may flounder around for a little while seeking purpose.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, it may seem like lately you’re feeling extreme highs or lows. Soon things will settle down to a more even keel. Enjoy some escapism for now.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you are fearing rejection, give yourself a much-needed pep talk and then hang out with good friends. Friends can help you regain your confidence.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, consider volunteering your time to causes that are important to you, either in your local community or on a grander scale. This will provide a deep sense of satisfaction.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 A laundry list of responsibilities may be coming your way, Pisces. Stay motivated and you can muscle through anything.

SECTION B Section

Ultra-marathon runners enjoy endurance racing around the globe LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Isabelle Sauve and Bruno Seguin have a love of running, but unlike most marathon, or short-distance runners, this pair likes to do things to the extreme. They are ultra-marathon runners.

An ultra marathon is any distance longer than a marathon, they explained in an email exchange.

"Multi stage racing is a different type of ultra marathon, as we carry our own food for the duration of the event (six or seven days)," they wrote. "We are self-sufficient and run with all our mandatory equipment and food supply. Most of multi-stage races are approximately 250 kilometres long, which means we run a marathon every day and there is a day where we run between 80 and 100 kilometres."

They came to Lanark County just this winter. Sauve is an OPP officer with the Lanark County Detachment. Seguin came here from Australia, where he was a B2B Managing Director for a leading global education provider. They said they both love

this "fantastic area" and Sauve requested a transfer.

Running is the base of their training, but they said they spend a lot of time in the gym working on strength and flexibility.

"Endurance requires having a balanced physical and mental condition," they wrote. "As our backpack weighs about 10 kilograms, it is important our upper body and core remains strong during the whole week while running on difficult terrains with temperatures that can reach well over 40 degrees Celsius. We are also usually training twice a day for several consecutive days to be prepared for short recovery time."

The pair competed in the Namibia Desert 250 km. Sauve won the women's division.

Isabelle Sauve and Bruno Seguin begin their 257-km 4 Deserts Ultra Marathon Series in the Sahara Desert. Sauve won the women's division. - Mike Sakas/Racing The Planet The overall winner of the May 5 race was Vicente Garcia of Spain, who had both Wong Ho Chung of Hong Kong and Ollie Stoten of the United Kingdom

Isabelle Sauve and Bruno Seguin of Lanark County recently competed in the self-supported 257 kilometre footrace across the Namib Desert in Africa (6 day event). Isabelle took the women's title in the event which is put on by 4 Deserts, the largest multi-stage event host. Inset, is: Sauve runs the Sahara Desert route. close behind. The Lanark County duo say they are now focusing on the Antarctica 250 km in November 2018.Sauve will compete for the third time in a 4 Desert Series race. After finishing third in Atacama and first in Namibia, she will try to win this race. Seguin, if he finishes he will enter the exclusive 4 Desert Club which means he has competed and finished, The Gobi Desert (Windiest Desert on Earth), The Atacama Desert (Driest Desert on Earth), The Namib Desert (Oldest Desert on

Earth) and Antarctica (Coldest Desert on Earth).

"We will also compete in a number of local shorter races on trail and road, Kilt Run in Perth being one of them," they said.

Among other sports, Sauve is a former Canadian National Triathlon Champion and Multiple International Iron Man competitor.

Seguin competed in tennis at a regional level and squash at a

Gemmell, Boldt file to run for mayor on same day

Councillors McPherson, Graff to square off in race for deputy mayor DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

cer, to replace the outgoing CAO, John deRosenroll.

Ron Ladd, who is currently the senior administrative officer of the hamlet of Pangnirtung on Baffin Island in the Nunavut territory, was selected as part of a Canada-wide search, and he will be offered a five-year contract with the town.

At the May 15 council meeting,

deRosenroll added that Ladd had other administrative experience with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's administrative division, as well as experience working at the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

He recalled that Ladd's first interview was over the telephone, while Ladd flew in for his second interview with Fenik,

Gemmell, and McPherson.

He called him a "career administrator and that's what we need.

"He will do a good job," said deRosenroll.

"I'm very excited," added McPherson during the council meeting. In meeting Ladd, McPherson said that "we are very impressed with him."

The Annual Meeting for the

Perth Seniors Fellowship will be held in McMartin House 125 Gore Street East, Perth

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell and Coun. Jim Boldt filed their papers to run for mayor on the same day, May 15.

"It's going to be an exciting time," said Boldt, after the Tuesday, May 15 town council meeting ended. "Let the games begin."

After John Fenik was acclaimed to the mayor's spot in 2010 and 2014, "the voters of this town will finally have a chance to decide," he said.

Boldt said he made his decision after consulting with his campaign team.

He said he always knew that "there would be a time and a place for me to run."

Though born in Renfrew, "I consider Perth my home now," said the 24-year resident.

A more fulsome campaign platform will likely come later in the summer, after the provincial election on June 7 at least.

"All eyes and ears are on the provincial election (now)," he said.

Gemmell said that he decided to run about a week and a half ago, after consulting with his wife Anne. He has served 15 years on council, nine of them as deputy mayor.

"Now it's time to take the next step," Gemmell said. "It's a big step."

He too said he would also hold off on any campaign promises as it was "too early" in the race, and he wished to see the nomination period come to an end in July, and to get the provincial election "out of the way first."

He stressed that he has served the town on numerous committees and boards over the years, including the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation board.

Deputy mayoral race The race for deputy mayor is also heating up, with Coun. Jim Graff, chair of the police services board, squaring off against the councillor who sits beside him, Coun. Ed McPherson, who also runs the Lanark County paramedic service.

Coun. Judy Brown has also registered to run for re-election

as a councillor.

"It played out differently than I'd thought (it would)," said Brown of the candidates applying for council's two top roles.

New CAO Town council went in camera at the beginning of its May 15 meeting to hash out the final details regarding the hiring of its new chief administrative offi-

Stephanie Gray would like a menagerie of pets Last week I mentioned the unfortunate passing of a couple of Girlchild's goldfish. This sparked some conversations about pets in our household.

When I was growing up we had a variety of pets. The earliest ones I remember were dogs, but Mom also had tonnes of beautiful fish.

I recall tanks full of guppies and watching Mom rushing to separate out babies before their cannibalistic parents ate them. (Life is hard!)

My Nan liked parakeets, and we had some, too. We taught them to say their names and words like "pretty pretty bird." There's nothing quite like bright green and blue birds chirping in a sunny kitchen.

We tried our hands with hermit crabs for a time.

STEPHANIE GRAY Column They were fascinating, and we learned (the hard way) the trick about holding your palm flat when handling them so they didn't grab onto skin. Ouch.

We always had a least one (and no more than two at a time) dogs. When I was wee it was a Pekingese and a Toy poodle, followed by another long-lived Pekingese. My parents didn't graduate to big dogs until I went to university (not enough room for both of us?). Since then, my dad has become wellrecognized for his daily dog walks in town. For the last several years Golden retrievers have been the norm.

We never had cats at home. My parents were staunch dog people. Cats were shooed from the yard because they ate birds and pooped in the garden.

Speaking of things outside, as I was growing up I tried to adopt all manner of wildlife, too - turtles, snakes, frogs, fish, baby robins...I probably would have brought home a baby groundhog once, too, if I thought my parents would have gone along with it.

(They never let us keep those things for long. Wild creatures are not pets.

There are also rules about this. I mentioned this recently as Girlchild tried to convince me she needed a pet baby painted turtle she had found.)

Anyway, after hermit crabs came guinea pigs and then rabbits. For a long time, I had quite a love for those soft, quiet, peaceful creatures. In fact, when Groom-boy and I got married, we had a rabbit in the household, and then an-

walks and get outside even...but some people in the house still aren't dog fans.

Experience has shown that Ramsey gets along with dogs better than he does cats, which is a consideration.

For now, though, I am taming the innate zookeep-

er in me. Maybe I'll just train Ramsey or Myrtle to walk on a leash....

other, followed by a cat (MacGregor), and then another cat (Filibuster).

Groom-boy came from a cat family. I have decided cats are okay. In fact, our current kitty, Ramsey, is truly my lovely little buddy.

In addition to Ramsey, our menagerie includes Myrtle the turtle (28 years and counting) and an assortment of fish, including Pug the remaining goldfish, a couple of tetras and a cory.

Girlchild is the Mini Me in the pet parade, I would say. Over the last few years, she has campaigned for a number of different critters, including a ferret, a lizard and, most recently, a dog. And not just any dog, it must be a Corgi. (Because she is like a queen?)

For a while, Boychild was hankering for a Golden retriever, but our house is so small I think it would be like keeping a horse inside.

I like the idea of a (smallish) dog because it would force me to go for lots of

‘Ambitious’ water plan DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com New homes to be built north of Highway 7 may see storm water management ideas that are a little unorthodox, but they may save the town some serious cash.

Doug Nuttall, senior civil engineer at JP2G Consultants Inc., made a delegation to Perth town council's committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, May 1, in which he brought councillors up to date on the latest from the peer review of the "Infrastructure Master Plan Area North of 7."

"We concluded that there were options for storm water management that had not been considered," he said.

But conventional ideas, such as a storm pond, might have required a pump station to move water along, because of the area's topography, and "if you want to pump storm water, you've probably done something wrong," said

Nuttall. "We took a look at another way."

Some options were off the table: "Nobody wants a ditch," he said. But one idea was to create "rock fill to take water all the way through your subdivision."

In essence, "this is about capturing water. It will move water away on its own," he said.

He admitted that an idea like this has not been done on this scale, and is a little bit ambitious.

Some of the new homes proposed for the area, which run along this proposed water route, will have to have walkout basements.

Nuttall's proposal would cost just under $4 million over 10 years, though he noted that "you don't have to build all of it," at once.

The initial, conventional plan would have cost about $10,760,000, which included a $5,715,000 pump station, and $2,946,000 pipe system, at an annual operation cost of about $7,000, costing $6,000 in annual

maintenance, among other costs.

This other plan, however, would cost an estimated $3,922,000, of which $2,192,000 would go toward the purchase of stone, and $1,120 would be set aside for a 40 per cent contingency fund. Landscaping would cost $280,000, with an annualized "swale cleanout" costing $4,000.

"We believe that area has relatively deep clay soil," said Nuttall. "I'm assuming all of it (water) runs off of the clay," though he would be happy if some of the water was absorbed into the ground.

This new proposal "changes the run-off rate ... it actually slows the water down," said Nuttall. Currently, spring run-off heading underneath the bridge on County Road 511 is passing by at a rate of about 50 cubic metres per second.

With this new design, the water would sit in a type of pond, and would gradually run off.

Being a large cheering section is one way to earn some cash, Cathy James writes If you're involved with a local charity or not-forprofit organization and want to give back, then you're gonna need to cheer as loudly as you can.

The Perth Kilt Run takes place on Saturday, June 23 and they're accepting applications from groups that want to

JAMES Column set up a cheering station along the race route.

The 8-kilometre kilterrunner race is a popular one that laces its way through town. Cheering stations with participants handing out water cups is always a welcomed and refreshing gift to the run-

ners. With that, the winning cheering station deemed by a group of onthe-run, kilted judges will earn $1,000 to the charity or not-for-profit organization of their choice. Remember: it doesn't have to be a charity running the cheering station - but they do have to name a charity of choice benefitting from their possible earnings.

The best part? Watching this race is a fun one.

One Band You've got to Check Out Last week, I was listening in at the Stewart Park Festival student coffeehouse at the Perth Tea Room where I was introduced to the Stabbing Hares.

The six-piece band hails mostly from St. John Catholic High School and their music and performance is pretty incredible. With lead singer Kalil Bailey offering great vocals and a contagious energy, the band offers a solid mix of song offerings.

The band also includes Isaac Walker, Chris Bowman, Oliver Matthews-Hannah (he's a PDCI lad), Max Bumstead and Reilly Donnelly.

The band's been working on their set list for a while now and they're ready for you to listen.

Wanna know how? They're hosting an event, the Crystal Bash, at the Crystal Palace this Saturday, May 26.

Yep, the young crew has rented out the space so they could play for a wide audience and bring people together for a good time.

It's an all-ages event and the cost is $5. Door open at 7:15 p.m. with music starting at 8 p.m.

Sauve started competing in multi stage races in 2016 in Morocco at The Marathon Des Sables, while the same year, Seguin competed in China at the 4 Deserts Gobi.

"We have both started running shorter distances however; moved quite rapidly to multi-stage racing.

The multi-stage racing brings a different dimension to running; it also gives us the opportunity to discover the world and its most remote populations while doing what we like."

"We had planned this for almost a year and wanted to literally run together so we decided to run a marathon handcuffed together. We beat the current record by 13 minutes."

As for funding, they pay their own way, but would welcome sponsors and donations for nutrition, sports equipment and travel. They cover all inscription fees.

And why do they do this?

Bruno Seguin is shown running across the Sahara Desert in a recent ultra-marathon event. - Mike Sakas/Racing The Planet "We keep asking ourselves this question," they wrote. "We are two endurance sports enthusiasts, altruists who are humbly trying to leave a positive footprint and support ethical and education initiatives.

IN MEMORIAM

JAMES, Isabel

November 27, 1927-May 24, 1998 We little knew that morning, That God had called your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For parts of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we can not see you, We remember you with pride.

Always in our hearts Carman and family

In Loving Memory of Our Son Jordon Robert Moore May 19, 2016 No words I write can ever say, How much we miss you every day.

As time goes by, loneliness grows, How much we miss you, nobody knows!

We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, But all we have are memories, And some pictures in a frame.

No one knows our sorrow, No one sees us weep, But the love we have for you, Is in our hearts to keep.

We’ve never stopped loving you, And we know we never will, Deep within our hearts, you are with us still.

Heartaches in this world are many, But surely ours is worse than any.

There is a place in our hearts that no one else can fill, But grief still rules our lives and our world even still.

Sadly missed and always loved Mom, Dad, John, Sabrina, Mert, Jaydon

EASTON, Joseph (Joey)

July 15, 1972-May 25, 1998 In loving memory of a loving son and brother.

The days are remembered and quietly kept, No words are needed for we will never forget.

For deep in our hearts you will always stay, Loved and remembered each and every day.

Love Mom and Dad Karen and Kevin

Lyle Kenneth MANSON May 25th, 1994 Loving and kind in all His ways, Upright and just to the end of His days Sincere and thoughtful in heart and mind, What a beautiful memory He left behind, It is hard to forget someone who Gave us so much to remember, Too well loved to ever be forgotten, A special smile, A special face, And in our Hearts, A special place.
